Metastatic Thyroid Carcinoma in Bone

A White man in his 70s with a recent diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 4  + 5) and prostate-specific antigen of 36 ng/mL was found to have bone lesions in his right sacral ala and left femoral neck. Image-guided fine needle aspiration of the left femoral neck confirmed osseous metastasis, morphologically compatible with known prostatic carcinoma. A subsequent chest comp uted tomography (CT) scan showed a large, heterogeneously enhancing, lobulated, destructive mass involving the right anterior second rib (Figure 1A) as well as other lytic osseous lesions.
